is the GNC Pro Performance AMP Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60, beneficial?

[Legend15]

I just recently bought the Wheybolic extreme 60 at GNC for about $40 dollars and I know it's known to be more of a lean muscle mass drink. But I have seen a lot of mixed reviews about it and want to know if anyone based off of experience knows if it actually helps you lose weight or just at least tone or define the muscle?

Dude, you just got screwed out of forty bucks.

Here's why you should not use protein supplements.

• You don't need them.
Our species has survived for 150,000 generations without supplements. You grew from an infant to what you are today by eating food. There is absolutely no reason to take protein supplements if you have a normal diet. And, If you don't, fix the diet. If you take more protein than you body needs, the rest will be either excreted in urine, burned (metabolized), or used to synthesize fat.

• They are a poor source of nutrition
Protein supplements contain mostly protein and little else of value. Protein-bearing food contains a constellation of nutrients...vitamins, enzymes, minerals, and many more things your body can use to maintain itself. So, just adding one thing out of many to your diet is a bad nutritional deal for you. Food is the best nutritional bargain there is.

• Protein does not make muscles grow.
Exercise creates the stimulus for muscle growth. To turn that stimulation into growth, your body requires a host of nutrients including carbs, enzymes, amino acids, and more. Supplementing your diet with one thing but not others makes no sense at all and only proves that you are getting all you need from your food anyway.

• Protein is a diet killer and has the same calories as sugar.
Protein has the same caloric value as carbs or pure sugar (4 calories per gram). Protein can be as big a diet killer as sugary junk foods. There is no advantage to getting more protein than you need and here's how much you need --> http://www.cdc.gov/nutrition/everyone/basics/protein.html#How%20much%20protein according to the best minds in nutrition on the planet, the US CDC.

• Every US federal Health Agency warns against using supplements
The CDC and NIH and many other health agencies warn that no one should take protein supplements without the recommendation of a health care professional. Here's why --> http://nccam.nih.gov/health/supplements/wiseuse.htm#points and http://nccam.nih.gov/health/supplements/wiseuse.htm#sources .

• Protein Supplements may be contaminated
Many tests of protein supplements have revealed contaminants such as heavy metals (cadmium, lead, arsenic, mercury), salmonella bacteria, and byproducts of pesticides, fertilizers, etc. In the US, there is no statutory requirement (law) that requires protein supplement makers to test their products. Watch this video from CBS news --> http://www.cbsnews.com/2100-500202_162-6537686.html and note that Muscle Milk was one of the products found to be contaminated.

• The world's top athletes don't use protein supplements. Why should you?
Most Olympians do not use protein supplements and they train much harder than bodybuilders. Train like an Olympian. --> http://www.nd.edu/~ndsmcgym/assets/images/stronggymnast.jpg . Eat like an Olympian --> http://www.livestrong.com/article/329993-what-do-gymnasts-need-to-eat/ .

You need to stop getting your information about bodybuilding from the internet. Start reading books...recent edition text books are best.


Good luck and good health!!
